Research on the species of hexapodes existing in potato crops

Abstract

To collect the material, were used Barber soil traps of the wet type, in which a 20% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution was placed. There were used 3 variants, each with 6 repetitions, as follows:V1, in which treatments were applied against pests, with products approved for organic agriculture; V2, in which treatments were applied against pathogens and pests in conventional agriculture; V3, in which no pest control treatment was applied. Collections of the captured material were made during the months of June, July and the first decade of August. The insect species collected belong to the following orders: Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera, Homoptera, Heteroptera, etc.
